Vol. 16 - The Disney Channel Games 2008: The Reboot: The Series
I think it would be so cool if they brought these back. And I don’t mean with those little twerps who are on Disney Channel now—ew, I don’t even know them?
Slimes,
If you’re anything like me, you were absolutely captivated by the Disney Channel Games in 2008. It was my Olympics. F*ck those kids training for like, most of their lives—I’d love to see teen actors who are very much paid to be there do stupid little games that mean nothing. I don’t even recall there being any sort of stakes. Maybe there was? Clearly it was more about the journey than the destination for me 🫶
Obviously, I was a ride or die Green Team fan. And ladies, I think we know why, amirite?
That summer was a little tense. Friends became enemies. The stakes may have been incredibly, deeply, deeply low for those hot teens, but they were massive to me. There were a lot of Red Team stans (the Nick Girls) but it’s a little obvious that on a couple teams, Disney was clearly running out of actors with availability. And so they did the wildest thing? Where they just found international Disney stars? And added them to the teams? But no one knew them and that made it a weird watch at times. Like, who’s this random guy standing in front of a Sprouse Twin? Can he move? Zack or Cody is throwing a frisbee.
Here’s the thing: I think it would be so cool if they brought these back. And I don’t mean with those little twerps who are on Disney Channel now—ew, I don’t even know them? Those are actual children.
No, with these guys! They all have to be in their 30s now. I want to see who’s normal.
Bring out Jake T. Austen. Get Corbin Bleu in here. Brenda Song (Mother) already RSVPed, which is cool because that means Macaulay Culkin will come and cheer her on. I know that in my bones.
They could do this for a charity maybe? Maybe for the children? Like The Shawn Mendes Foundation, maybe? Shawn’s Kids? That would be nice.
Omg, what if they streamed it live? Say on Netflix? No way the viewership wouldn’t be crazy. The fck outta here, Bridgerton—millennials are on their way to be annoying about something else from the early 2000s!
I would just love to go into my little cubicle at my stupid little job and get distracted by TikToks of Demi Lovato (I know, I can’t believe they got Demi) falling on a big red ball like on Wipeout.
They can do it every four years if they want, too. Could be a real cash grab for some of the washed up ones. But we just need like one or two stars per team to get the viewership. I do really think Zac Efron would want to participate.
